First of all, "Nazi" is a washed-up word that carries little meaning. People use "nazi" all the time; much like puta in Spanish, it's lost all edge and no one in mainstream society is offended by it except Holocaust survivors.
Do me a favor, make yourself a shirt with a nice big red swastika on it. Put "I'm a Nazi!" real big across the front, note people's reaction. Let me know how much it has "lost its edge"
So yes, I equate "fat" with the N word. When you call someone a Nazi it means nothing except "I disagree with the way you're handling this situation". You don't use "fat" the same way, and very few use "nigger" the same way. The latter are put-downs designed to build yourself up by tearing someone else down. But you don't call someone a nazi when you want him to feel sorry for himself.
I personally use fat and lazy interchangeably, I've called myself as well as others who couldn't be healthier fat on many occasions. Fat is on the same level as stupid or putz in my book, usually laughable jests that aren't serious. On the other hand using a racial slur is in a completely different ballpark, along with several other sexually explicit vulgarities.
Probably, but that doesn't matter.
And they ain't special. They're just regular, insignificant people who happened to die all at once in an unorthodox way. But they weren't remarkable folks. They had their share of sins, sure; you don't think some of those people are burning in hell? When a plane hits you in the face you don't have much time to repent. We puff Sept. 11 up like it's the tragedy of the century, but it ain't nothin. Two thousand people is significant when you quantify it as one event, but people die all the time, all damn day, and prolly more than two thousand at a time. However, there's no report at the end of each day, "How many innocent people died today:", to inform you of that fact.
I would love to imagine that everyone in the WTC attack died as quick and painless of a death as "getting hit in the face by a plane". Unfortunately I'd be willing to wager that a vast majority of the people knew their death was imminent, either burning alive, suffocating from the smoke or plummeting hundreds of feet to avoid the aforementioned. These people most likely had ample time to make peace with whichever deity they saw fit. They died in a terrible terrible way and I feel for each and every one of them. You're complete lack of any care for their deaths is disturbing.
What? Why should I be respectful? Those people mean nothing to me. I won't lie and pretend to care and speak gravely of a "brave new world"; they're strangers to me and I feel nothing for them or their family memebers. That's cold but true.
Not caring and being respectful are two completely separate things. You might not care if 2000 people died, but don't disrespect their family members and those that actually do give a fuck.
You do not have the required security level to post to this thread.
